Subject: userfaultfd/selftests: remove the time() check on delayed uffd
There seems to have no guarantee that time() will return the same for the
two calls even if there's no delay, e.g. when a fault is accidentally
crossing the changing of a second. Meanwhile, this message is also not
helping that much since delay could happen with a lot of reasons, e.g.,
schedule latency of resolving thread. It may not mean an issue with uffd.
Neither do I saw this error triggered either in the past runs. Even if it
triggers, it'll be drown in all the rest of test logs. Remove it.
